Abstract excerpt
Poly(A) signals of mammalian pre-mRNA have been defined as an AAUAAA sequence 10-30 nt upstream of the cleavage/poly(A) site followed by a GU/U-rich element immediately downstream. However, a number of viral poly(A) signals have been shown to possess additional signals upstream of AAUAAA that increase poly(A) site efficiency. We describe the first non-viral example of such an upstream sequence element (USE) for...
